Principal Arrested for Shielding Accused Teachers in Buxar Sex‑exploitation Scandal

Investigations have revealed that the headmaster, Mohammad Imam Ali Ansari, was aware of the illicit activities of the two teachers but attempted to protect them. In his report, he claimed the girl in the video was not a student of the school. Police interrogation showed otherwise, leading to his arrest. The education department has also suspended the government teacher award slated for 2026 that Ansari was due to receive. Additionally, the Block Education Officer of Dumraon has been issued a show‑cause notice for alleged negligence in handling the case.
